Did her to button disappear too?

Yes

Yes - my son was admitted Monday. I posted above.

My twin boys were accepted, one yesterday and the other this morning. The TO button never disappeared for the one accepted today, and it is still showing, perhaps because he changed his TO answer at one point to have his scores considered?

Goodness was that an error? Can’t fathom why your 3.9 wouldn’t get you in to main! Hope the other choices are coming through for your kid!

Their loss - she more than a lot of applicants who have never actively had hands on ER lifesaving experience knows 100% that Nursing is for her. THank you she has much better options at several places already that have given her top merit awards. Disappointing yes - but it their loss! Thanks

My daughter also randomly picked a back up school because she had to and just got admitted to the secondary one. She also won’t be attending.
